Mod Stack Placemats

This is a project for the Nanaimo Quilters' Guild. They collect placemats & donate them to Meals on Wheels. The Guild provided the batting - an Ultra Thin Poly. It was lovely to use.

I used five assorted fat quarters for the centres and a brown Moda Grunge Basicgrey by Moda, Pattern #30150 for the background & binding. The five fat quarters was enough for six placemats with some smaller scraps for another project.

It's a little hard to see in the photos but I quilted the placemats with horizontal lines approximately 0.5" apart.

One of the requests from the placemat committee is that we use an interesting fabric on the back so I chose this print from Shamah & Sons, Patt#5015M.

I have three finished & three waiting for more batting when Guild starts back up in September.

About Me

I was only going to quilt "once in a while" when I purchased my Bernina Activa 130 in 2001 but it quickly changed to daily. Luckily, my husband is very supportive of my love of fabric. We, and our two dogs, live in Nanaimo, BC, on Vancouver Island, Canada. Currently, I sample sew and teach at Serge and Sew (Nanaimo, BC) and sample sew for Snip & Stitch (Nanaimo, BC).
